you each year, it's really best to take that into account if you plan on traveling for thanksgiving thing, we'll focus on the flying first. if you're going to sfo or really any of the other bay area airports, really think about how much time it is going to take for you to get to where you need to be. security lines are going to be long. the check in lines are going to be long. parking may take you a while. officials here, sfo say that we did actually pass the peak travel day that happened back on friday. they say that is mostly due to the fact that schools are out as well as remote work is a big factor. now however, you can still expect it to be a very busy scene both the next couple of days here at sfo. they will be busy. the faa expects 50,000 flights nationwide ad the day before thanksgiving, 2.5 million passengers today. and tomorrow. also expect other parts of the country to possibly have some inclement weather. i'm sure many flying out. remember the nightmare that christmas caused when you were trying to fly out there? all those canceled flights, all of those lost

luggage, missed bags, the whole nine yards created a lot of travel nightmares for folks this year. us transportation is really focusing on it. the secretary, pete buttigieg, saying they are monitoring it and tsa says they expect this to be almost a record breaking year . >> we expect it to be a record breaking year in 2023. already we've had seven of our ten busiest days in tsa history. and typically over thanksgiving on the tuesday and wednesday before thanksgiving are very busy. the busiest day usually is the sunday following day. >> now, you you can't control the weather, the snow, the heavy rain, all of that could happen over the next few days. so let's remember a lot of patience is going to be needed over the next few days. some deep breaths, a lot of time added on to your travel conditions and also just being prepared for any obstacles that may come when you're flying out either here at sfo or oakland or san jose. we'll focus on the road travel coming up later on. but for now, live at sfo, i'm ryan curry, abc seven news. >> ryan thank you. hopefully covid is not going to be a

companion of yours this thanksgiving. you might want to pack a covid test just in case. as you heard from ryan, hundreds of thousands of people will pass through bay area airports this week while bay area covid hospitalizations are still low. there is a looming threat for a tripledemic covid flu and rsv cases are rising. >> i would certainly wear a mask in the airport, especially if you're going long distances. >> so we unfortunately will expect a bump after thanksgiving and another bump that continues is after the december holidays and then another one after new year's. >> the cdc says unvaccinated travelers should be on alert. there's concern over the country's most dominant and infectious variant yet, which is hsv1 one. they developments about san francisco based openai i most of its employees are threatening to quit unless their fired ceo is reinstated. >> jobina is at the live desk with the revolt inside the tech company that is helped to pioneer. i thank you kumasi hundreds of openai employees are

vowing to walk off the job to get their boss back. >> it all started friday when the board of openai fired ceo sam altman, claiming he, quote, was not consistently candid in his communications with the board blue berg reports the dispute may have stemmed from altman's push to commercialize ai more rapidly, despite concern that the unregulated technology could displace jobs and pose major security risks. in response to his firing, microsoft, a top investor in the company, quickly hired altman and another top executive. then. 725 of openai 770 employees signed a letter threatening to join altman at microsoft unless the board resigns and altman is reinstated as ceo. now, altman has long been viewed as the golden boy in the tech space, especially in the world of ai. and fortune magazine has compared his cult following to that of steve jobs at apple. microsoft has now guaranteed every openai employee a position

, but it's also leaving the door open for altman to go back. altman said yesterday, quote, we are all going to work together some way or other as for the employees threatening to quit, they say they will act imminently. reggie and the other drama that's going on with the san francisco company is at cruise, where the co-founder and chief product officer, daniel kahn has now stepped down his resignation comes just a day after the company's other founder, ceo kyle vogt, quit. >> according to reuters, kahn said he was stepping down through a slack message to staff yesterday. both decisions come shortly after the company had to recall 950 of its autonomous vehicles after one of the vehicles dragged an injured pedestrian on a san francisco street last month. >> tesla shareholders are calling on its board of directors to suspend. and elon musk, investor jerry brockman says he wants the board to send a message that musk, quote, went

evidence. and that video evidence showed the elements of a crime were not present. concord police say the woman in question was trying to separate the child and was knocked to the ground in the process. but video shows the boy in the orange jersey walking away from the one that he was in disagreement with the principal at saint francis of assisi says she was made aware of the situation and has no comment. and she says that cyo is not a school related function or activity. it's a church league that's run by the diocese of oakland. and we're told that action will likely be taken against the parent, possibly as early as today. live in the newsroom, gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. gloria, thank you. >> thank you. oakland hopes one of its newest leaders will be able to help stop violent crime. the city just announced that doctor holly joshi will serve as a new permanent chief for the department of violence prevention. mayor shengtao made the announcement at esperanza elementary school on the campus of stonehurst elementary in east oakland that is the school where jose went when she was a kid. she also has more than a decade

my job until it's time for me to retire. hopefully there's some type of change i can move on. >> i can build myself back up. i can do some mental work on myself. and i know that i don't never have to be silenced on any job. >> the sheriff's office and the city responded to the ruling in a joint statement that reads in part, we were surprised and disappointed by the outcome of this case. we will continue to take all reasonable steps to make our employees feel safe and valued. >> this year's thanksgiving holiday travel looking to be one of the busiest we've seen in decades. tens of millions are expected to hit the road or get on a flight. abc seven news reporter ryan curry is live this morning at sfo with some of those projected travel numbers. hi, ryan. yeah, hi, reggie. >> good morning. yes, we are expecting a very busy travel year. again, let's focus on the roads right now because you said it, millions are estimated to be hitting the roads come today and tomorrow as they make their way

into the thanksgiving holiday. there are some certain times you need to be aware of when it comes to beating the traffic. so let's break that down for you. wednesday before thanksgiving from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. is the worst time to travel. that's pretty much rush hour. and you don't want to be stuck in that if you are leaving on wednesday. so go in the morning before 11, if you can, on on thanksgiving, a little similar, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the worst time to be hitting the road, especially if you are going anywhere from maybe here to sacramento or the mountains or the valley. the best advice there, again, leave early in the same applies when you're coming home as well on black friday after thanksgiving, noon to 4 p.m. will be the worst time to travel on the roads. you'll want to drive around around that time frame, either 11:00 am before that or 7 p.m. later in the night. and if you're waiting for the weekend to travel from thanksgiving to drive home 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. is not the good time to be doing it. your best bet is also early before noon. let's hear from triple a who also say leaving

early will be your best plan. wednesday has notoriously been the worst day to be on the roads before thanksgiving and that time frame between 2 and 6 p.m. is the worst time to be on the road, because at that point, you're mixing holiday travelers on the roads with commuters, people who have to work on wednesday. now, good news for road travelers is renting a car is about 20% cheaper this year. gas prices are also down nationwide, which is something we love to see before the holiday rush. also anybody planning to go to a circle k gas station? they're having a special promotion where it's going to be $0.40 off per gallon here on the west coast on certain times. and certain days. so if you are hitting the road, we don't have many of them here in the bay area. but anything you can do to save some few extra dollars that's going to be coming in handy as you hit the roads this week. we're live at sfo. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> thank you, ryan. in the middle east, a second hospital in gaza has become a battleground in the war. israel
